Tralee and Dingle Light Railway

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Tralee and Dingle Light Railway was a 31 mile 3 ft (914 mm) gauge narrow gauge railway running between Tralee and Dingle in County Kerry on the west coast of Ireland. It was closed in 1953 but just over a mile has now been reopened as a preserved line between the Aquadome in Tralee and Blennerville windmill.
